In my car the "reserve" means 10 to 12 liters which is about 2.9 gallons.
My everyday urban consumption is 24 liters per 100km (9mpg) which is same as my V8 H.O. 4.7 Grand Cherokee.
If I think what I do I am able to go down to 18 liters per 100km (13mpg).
Once I really wanted to check how low I can go and I made 13 liters per 100km (18mpg).
The lowest consumption I ever recorded was 10 liters per 100km (23mpg) - cruise control engaged for 50 miles @ speed of 55 mph.

I someone is concerned about the fuel consumption should never buy car like Evo/Sti and likes.

 

24/100 is TERRIBLE.. something is wrong with that...

I average 12L/100

are you using 98RON (93oct?)

 

If you ask me, the only reason to buy it is to lower the noise inside the car at higher speeds.
I will never ever understand why they have not made a 6th gear. It is crazy.

 

Yep, I am using 98.
Maybe there is something wrong the map? It is slightly tuned to 333 flywheel HP.
If we talk about average I could say 18 if I drive for more than 15-20km.

 

Yes, it's very common, since our cars run very rich with the factory tune.

"Tuning" the car means using the "correct" amount of gas and air for each combustion cycle...

and "correct" means less than stock.

 

So it seems that my car is (not) tuned improperly.

 

nah - your MPG means:
a) big boost leak - bad drivability???
b) clogged cat - bad drivability???
c) dodgey fuel - slugish?
d) *02 sensor problem

* most likely...

yes evo's run rich from the factory, but unless your on a racetrack you should see those MPG's even with the factory tune!

 

a) n/a
b) n/a
c) n/a
d)? - but I had o2 sensor fault on E8 and it was taking 60 (sixty) l/100km at 150-180km/h. I checked it few times .

The car runs normal and is said to be "very fast" as for 333fHP only.
More over if any of above was the case would I be able to go down to 10-13l/100km?

 

whats E8?

a stock evo x from the factory should AVERAGE about 13L per 100km - thats highway/city driving...

what sort of driving do you do?

 

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Eight.

That is what people keep telling me.

WOT/brake/WOT/brake., etc.

 

WOT/brake/WOT/break is NOT normal driving... so of course your MPG will be ****house...

 

Well, depends on point of view...

Anyway - not pushing the car makes it 18l/100km. Period.

 

do me a favour...

sit on 100km/h, flat road - reset the trip computer and record what L/km you get... you should see between 10L/100km and 12L/100km

18L/100km is pretty terrible as well...

 

Will do in 5 weeks as I am 11000km away from my car (SIN).
Well, 100km/h is very eco speed, isn't it?

 

just a benchmark
